When Donald Trump used a September 10 presidential debate to promote false claims that Haitian immigrants in Springfield, Ohio, had been abducting and eating residents’ pets, it cast an unwanted spotlight on the city of around 60,000 people, stoking racial tensions and for, many Haitians, instilling a climate of fear. Trump, along with running mate JD Vance, has since doubled down on the claims, while also vowing to mass-deport Haitians from the city. Now, with just days to go until the election, many fear what might happen if Trump wins.
